How to Catch 'Em All?

"More than 75% of U.S. consumers who participated in a recent study were "very satisfied with their experience" of NFC compared to a 53% satisfaction rate for quick-response (QR) codes"

"An analysis of 14,267 NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) maintenance reports, logged from 2001 to 2011, showed that nearly 64%—about 9,000 of the incidents coded in the reporting system—were related to technical documentation, procedural challenges or both.

How does it work?

1.

Decide how much memory you need

2.

Decide between ordering customized tags or printing your own

Personalised and encoded tags

If you are in the high volume market (50,000+ tags ), specify how you want your tags to be customised for branding, graphics, encoding, data matrix etc. and contact Confidex partner for personalised tags.

Individually programmed tags

This is a good choice when you want to program all tags by yourself (some hundreds of tags) and possibly add those to posters, postcards, business cards etc. and encode them with the NFC-phone of your choice. Contact Confidex partners for blank tags.
